Blended oil is a kind of edible oil mixed with different vegetable oils, which aims to integrate the characteristics of various vegetable oils and achieve a better taste and nutritional balance. Blending oil is usually made of soybean oil, peanut oil, corn oil, sunflower oil and other vegetable oils in a certain proportion.
Because of the difference of nutritional components in different vegetable oils, blended oil can combine the advantages of various vegetable oils, such as being rich in unsaturated fatty acids (such as Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids) and vitamin E.
The mixing of blending oil can improve its high temperature resistance, making it difficult to produce other substances during cooking. It should be noted that although blended oil improves the nutritional balance and stability to a certain extent, it does not mean that it is suitable for all.
Matters needing attention in purchasing blending oil
1, check the proportion of ingredients: different brands of blended oil may have different proportions of ingredients. You can know the types and proportions of mixed vegetable oil by checking the ingredient list on the product label. Choose a suitable proportion according to your own needs, such as the taste or nutritional needs of a certain vegetable oil.
2. Pay attention to the production process: Understanding the production process of blended oil can help to judge its quality. High-quality blended oil usually adopts advanced processing technology, such as cold pressing or low-temperature extraction, to retain the nutrients and flavor of vegetable oil.
3. Looking for a reliable brand: Choosing a brand with high popularity and good reputation can increase confidence in purchasing blended oil. These brands usually have stricter quality control and production standards.
4. Pay attention to storage conditions: Blended oil generally needs to be stored away from light, moisture and heat to prolong its shelf life and keep its quality stable. Make sure to store it in a cool, dry place and avoid exposure to high temperature and direct sunlight.
5. Personal needs: Choose blending oil according to your cooking needs and taste preferences. For example, some blending oils are suitable for high-temperature cooking, while others are suitable for cold salad or sauce.
